Icelander Tries to Reach Japan by Boat
An unusual incident that occurred on Sakhalin has become known.
An Icelandic citizen intended to travel to Japan by boat.
This was reported by the TASS agency with reference to the press service of the Federal Bailiff Service for the Sakhalin Region.
It is noted that the foreigner chose a small vessel, trying to cross the country's water border. He chose Japan as his final destination.
Russian coast guard officers managed to stop an attempt to violate the state border in time.
The offender, who turned out to be a native of Iceland, was detained. The foreigner was found guilty of violating Russian immigration laws, and it was decided to expel him from the country.
After completing the paperwork, the Icelander was taken to the checkpoint. He will not be able to visit Russia again for the next five years.
